Hello Everybody,
I am Pijush B. from Yusuf M.T.High School, Comilla, Bangladesh. I read in grade 9. I was a participant of the web conference "status of Women in USA" .I think there is a difference between the status of Bangladeshi women and USA women. We had a lot of questions about this issue. The guest speaker answered very nicely for our questions thanks to Ms. Judith McHale for giving the answers for our questions. Thanks also to RISOL and the US state Department of Education and Cultural Affairs Bureau for organize this web conference.
Previously we participated on more web conference like “Islam in USA”, “Education in USA” etc. We also participated in a video conference with USA students of waterloo Junior High School on our project “The Way We Are” during the “Education Week”09. By these conferences we achieved a lot of knowledge on the related issues. Relief International, Bangladesh established an Internet Learning Center (ILC) in our School in 2005. We can participate in various kinds of educational programs by the online and offline activities organized by RISOL through this ILC. Beside that we can use computer in the ILC which is very necessary in this current world. We are learning the use of technology from here.
Thanks

"President Obama is a strong supporter of women's participation in all aspects of American society. The first law that he signed as President was a law guaranteeing women the right to equal pay. It is known as the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009." It was a reply from Ms.McHale when I asked her about the policies of new government of Barak Obama for women in USA.
I feel honored to get an opportunity to have a chat with Ms.McHale.Thanks to her.

RI-SOL,Bangladesh arranged an web conference with Ms. McHale On 8th February 2010. I feel very proud to participate at the web conference.There I throw a question for her about woman's main challenges at USA.
She replied "Like many parts of the world, women in the US have many roles and responsibilities and many challenges balancing their lives, their families, their work. The government of the United States has developed many laws to protect the rights of women at all stages of their lives."
I was very happy to get an opportunity at the conference.Thanks to Relief International and my school.

Seems to be great opportunity for the kids connect with the rest of the world, this is probably the best to build capacity at the grassroots level, Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs Office and Exchange program and Relief International-Schools Online should consider doing similar project in Sri Lanka

Online education that includes partnerships with groups like International Relief are not only cost effective, but they make learning come alive. It can destroy stereotypes while it builds bridges made of real knowledge, not antiquated text books. Bravo, Relief International!

@ Anna,
I do believe that hosting an international cook-off to gather the best recipies from across the globe, compiled into "The Official US Dept. of State Cookbook", sales of which to be reinvested in Womans issues, sustainable agriculture , etc.; might be a very edible format for public diplomacy and cultural exchange.
What do you think? Sound like a plan?
All us menfolk that can barely boil water successfully have yet to be targeted by incentive...(chuckle).
This might be just the ticket to address that deficiancy.
